Hi Kannan,

Client dependent and independent :

Client Independent: These objects are not specific to any client. And it is universal which can be viewed, changed across the clients.

Client Dependant: These are the objects can be viewed, changed for the client for which it has been assigned. Other clients do not have access on these objects.

In SAP, all objects are finally stored as tables. "Mandt" is key field which determines whether the object is client dependant or not.

Client Independent transport requests will make the transported objects available across the clients. And Client dependent transport request make the objects available only for the client mentioned by field "Mandt.

Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.

1. report - client independent (just like development objects)

2. BDC data - client dependent ofcourse

3. BDC Program - client INDEPENDENT (bcos its just a program)

4. smartforms - client independent (bcos an FM is called)

5. sapscript - client dependent.

u can logically separate the data with this concept. as already told, if u have MANDT first field in table it is client dependent. that means u can see this only in this client. not in others.

when an object is client independent, like a report it can be used across clients. a report has nothing to do with data. so an independent object. can be used in any client.

Please Reward If Really Helpful,
